Californians Voice Opposition to The Governor’s Delta Tunnel Project

Two weeks ago, Governor Brown evoked media uproar when he unveiled his plans to construct a pair of huge underground water tunnels to convey water from the Sacramento River to the Santa Clara Valley, Central Valley agribusiness and southern California. Since then, the overwhelming consensus has been unfavorable toward the budget busting project estimated to cost anywhere from $20-$50 billion. Throughout the state, opposition to the Governor’s water project is making headlines as Californians ask why their already-increasing water rates should skyrocket for this project that won’t provide regional water self-sufficiency.
